Crossing the Simpson Desert: 380km on Foot - #29
Description
Blake Bourne had unfinished business in the Simpson Desert. First crack he pulled up short, cooked mentally and physically. So what’d he do? Jumped on a treadmill and ran 177km straight, then went back 2 years later and knocked over the full 380km across the desert.
We get into the blisters, freezing nights, gastro, a watch that reset mid-run, even swimming creeks in the middle of nowhere. But also the head noise, why he went back, and what it feels like to finally get it done.
